The Wrestling Ring.

    The wrestling ring at Eko-in, as already reported here will be opened today. Both the entree and the fee for seats have been very much raised, showing that prospects are judged by the managers to be bright this season. The price of a box in the front gallery capable of holding 6 persons at most has been raised to 40 yen against 29 yen which was previously the price for the whole ten days. The charge for one day is 4½ against 3.60 yen before. The charge for a box in the west or east gallery has been raised from 27 yen to 32.40 yen for the whole period, that for one day being 3.60 yen against the old rate of 3.20 yen. The fee for a single person in the ground seats has similarly been raised by 30 percent, while the entree, formerly 15 sen, will be 20 sen this year.
